Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson has praised a viral cutup video showing the hitman he plays in Quentin Tarrantino's Pulp Fiction interrogating Brett Kavanaugh.
The actor though did not have kind words for the judge, who in testimony to the Senate judicial committee Friday denied sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party in the 1980s.
"Funny as hell, but there's nothing funny about his Lying Fratboy Ass!!!" Jackson wrote Friday evening.
The cutup — which has been shared more than 54,000 times— shows Jackson's character, Jules Wittfield, in clips from the 1994 movie, taunting a character (also named Brett), before killing him.
In the video, Wittfield responds to Kavanaugh's remarks during Friday's testimony.
After Kavanaugh describes getting into Yale Law School, the Wittfield character remarks "Check out the big brain on Brett."
At one point in the video, Jackson's character confronts Senator Lindsey Graham, who rebuke of Democrats on the committee during the hearing.
"He is warm, friendly, unassuming, he is the nicest person," said Graham in Kavanaugh's defence.
"I don't remember asking you a godd**n thing," responds Jackson's Wittfield.
Jackson is a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, who nominated Kavanaugh as Supreme Court judge earlier in the year.
"Common sense Trumps Non-Sense of Law!!" Jackson wrote in December after Trump's judicial nominee Matthew Petersen withdrew when he was unable to answer basic questions about legal procedure.
